DAST Scanning
DAST Scan Modes

Full (Active) Web App Scanning

3min

The --scanMode=fullscan option loads a ruleset that is tuned for performing attack based scans against web applications. Additionally some baseline passive rules will be run.

  • Large more comprehensive ruleset.
  • Actively tries to attack the site through common vulnerabilities and attack techniques.
  • Longer running than a passive scan, but more thorough testing.

Running a scan

To run a active scan all you need is the URL of the site to scan and the DAST CLI will do the rest, including crawling the site to find additional pages and resources to test.

docker run -it soosio/dast --clientId=<soos_client_id> --apiKey="<soos_apikey>" --projectName="<project_name>" --scanMode=fullscan https://url-to-test
